Familial Language Restored

This is a small string table mod that restores the familial language in the Parenthood sibling acquired bits. Someone in the server put it best: "We were childhood besties is a different idea from we grew up so close we consider each other siblings." This mod just reverts it to what it was before.

Technical Stuff

I just overrode string tables and replaced them with what was there before. As a result this mod won't break between patches.

Install instructions:

Put it in your mods folder

Root for the Spurs next season

3 is VERY IMPORTANT.

Enjoy!

Hug Lovingly for Best Friends and More

This simple tuning mod allows Sims to hug their best friends (including Evil best friends) lovingly. It also allows them to hug family they aren't directly related to. For example, if a Sim raised you and they're not technically your parent, you can now hug them lovingly.

This was a problem in my last legacy challenge. There were always four Sims a generation: two of my heirs and their partners. Consequently, one heir couldn't hug the other heir's parents lovingly. This is a simple mod that rectifies that. It's also good for storytelling.

Technical stuff: the interaction determines who can hug lovingly based on relationship bit. Most of them are family related, with some exceptions (significant others and care dependents before they become adults). This mod adds lines for the positive acquired Parenthood bits and the Best Friends bits.

This mod modifies E882D22F!00000012!0000000000027B5F.mixer_social_LovingHug.InteractionTuning and anything else that does so will conflict with it!

Powerful Calm Emotions

Is it just me or is the Compassionate reward trait kind of useless? You're able to calm emotions, but if a Sim is particularly upset, it barely does anything. Ostensibly, it makes a Sim's negative buffs ease -- and it does somewhat, but really it just reduces the length of time that they will last.

This mod makes it so that the interaction completely removes any negative buffs. Specifically angry, embarrassed, tense, and sad buffs. Cranky is unaffected, but the base Calm Emotions interaction reduces the length of time that cranky buffs last, which has been kept in place.

Technical stuff: it adds four lines to the Calm Emotions interaction which were ripped from the "Lend Emotional Support" interaction that comes with the "Companion" reward trait. These four lines are "loots" (i.e. events that take place when an interaction is completed) for removing negative buffs in the aforementioned categories.

This mod modifies E882D22F!00000012!0000000000027463.socials_Targeted_Friendly_Compassionate_CalmEmotions.InteractionTuning and anything else that does so will conflict with it! It also requires Parenthood.

Any Caregiver Can Give the WooHoo Talk

A simple tuning mod that makes it so that any caregiver, parent or not, can give a teenage dependent the WooHoo talk. For example, the Sims pictured above are cousins.

Technical stuff: previously, the interaction was only available if the TargetSim (the Sim the action was being performed on) was the son or daughter of the Actor (the Sim giving the talk). This was done through the son/daughter relationship bit. I added a line where the "dependent" relationship bit is included, which results in anyone who is raising another Sim, so long as they're an adult, can give a teenager the WooHoo talk. Requires Parenthood!

For free download on my Patreon. Will also be available on ModTheSims whenever it’s approved.
